Spirit Cafe

Amazing!! Don't miss it! I would definitely return! Get there early so that you can get a monster cookie. That cookie was worth the trip! So, warm, chewy, tasty and huge! My sandwich was huge and yummy! Service was phenomenal. I wish I was a local, I'd eat here every week! Highly recommend you give Spirit a try!

Tried this for the first time this week. I usually miss their open hours. I tried their daily special of red pepper Gouda soup with bacon grilled cheese. Food was fresh, hot and delicious. Fast service. A good variety on the menu for being a school program to get kids work experience before they graduate. Thai is a classroom in the real world and it is a great thing to be a part of. I look forward to returning to try other items like their loaded baked potato.

Great chicken salad, pasta salad and cheesy potato soup! Didn’t know this was a wildly successful school work program now in operation for two decades. As a traveler and educator it was a particular pleasure to support such a creative learning opportunity for special needs students while enjoying a delicious upscale lunch. We were really glad we stumbled in!

Quick service, friendly staff, and a beautiful atmosphere! The bowl of soup is the perfect portion size. I had the potato soup, it was the perfect hearty chunky soup. The price is decent for the portion and quality. Only downside is there are not a ton of options on the menu.

My favorite place in town. The chicken salad sandwich is great with grapes, cranberries and pecans. The croissant it comes on is very good, too. The BLT has a great berry jam (not sure what exactly it was) that makes it stand out. The Spirit Cafe is a work experience program for students in the Oskaloosa Community School System. The special needs students are doing an awesome job! Everybody I know loves this place.
